Most people are so involved in ego games that they simply can't see the real truth about things.

Most valuable things like money, status, looks and so on make your life easy and give you some kind of freedom but the real problem with all of us is what we do with our time on this earth?

So we unconsciously follow our parents and other people without questioning anything. And that's not a bad thing but we are just doing it subconsciously. That's it.

So when most people meet someone who doesn't value what they value they think he is insane. The problem is that w most people don't accept the differences between them and someone else because when they meet someone who doesn't value what they value and chase their entire lives they start questioning their life decisions and the path it takes.

It's when a the so called nice guy discover that the girl of his dreams is just a dirty bítch and give what she withhold from him to others just like that like attention, validation, sex, recognition..etc. So he start questioning what he thinks and believes and that turn his world upside down when he realize that what he has been believing his entire life is simply and illusion or utter búllshìt.

I wonder if anyone else feels that Joseph is contradicting himself too much here.
I dont get it, you say that you are happy with where you are now and then you say that there is no reason to be happy as you are.
He's saying he's happy but there's room for improvement, basically

I still want to skype with you. I believe that life is very balanced. No matter what you do, you will get as much good as bad. And I dont say it based on someone else saying it like Buddha. It is based on my own experience. In fact, saying that i believe it is wrong. It is my experience!

For example, when i stop desiring anything, my life is very free and I have no misery, frustation or anything negative emotions. But at the same time, I dont feel joy or happiness. Or the feeling of getting your desire fulfilled. Do you get me?

I think he is just lost, doesnt know what he is saying. Why would you be happy like you are but still not enough happy that you need to become better and more?

Of course it would. To say it wouldn't is almost a resignation that it will never happen.

A man is supposed to ultimately extract as many resources from the world as possible and share them as efficiently as possible. Indeed, doing so makes him happy.

And if he fails? He will be sad, mad, frustated.

I know I know, he will get up and do it again as many times as he can.

Just keep in mind that if he didn't have that huge ego, he would have saved himself from so many miseries, and frustations.

He can't fail at being generous.

Either way, the fat girl gets nothing.
